RISC OS
1988–1991
Lots or Acorn Archs at school and since my parents were teachers they got one too
MS-DOS

Managed to shoe-horn it onto an Acorn Archimedes via the PC-Emulator that came with it. My first ever "hack"
Windows 3.1

Windows seemed so cool back then.

I think I started with RedHat 5.0 then moved to 5.1. Have dipped into Fedora since but remain a Debian guy ;-)
Debian
1999–
Started with RedHat but quickly moved to Debian and used it (or a derivative) ever since.
Windows CE

I wrote a whole load of essays for my Philosophy MA on what can only be described as a proto-NetBook running WinCE. Was kinda cool.

Was still using it at Barcap in 2009.

For the purposes of testing/experimentation.

Oh dear... ended up dropping it for W2k then XP

Ran it "for fun" during my MSc

Still have it on a partition so I can keep up-to-date with the project.
Fedora

On and off just to see what's happening in RedHat land...

2004–
My current Linux distro of choice.
